Apple’s Glaring Absence in New York Times.

As Apple’s next major OS X upgrade approaches, stories of the new operating system emerges on tech sites and major news outlets, what’s sorely missing in New York Times’ report, was any quotable quotes from Apple. Since bloggers and tech pundits were given special, one-on-one sessions with Apple’s senior executives, it is obvious that even [...]

Thundering Silenced Bus-power.

AppleStore Ginza has the mythical Lacie Thunderbolt Little Big Disk in stock. After much trouble, I bought one home and to may dismay, there was no plug-and-play of the device. Yes, the Little Big Disk had to be connected to the wall for power. Now I know why is Apple selling a 2-meter Thunderbolt cable: [...]

Apple Textbooks.

I cannot help but not notice that there was no mention of Amazon or Kindle in the keynote address delivered by Phil Schiller at the January 19 Apple Education Event in New York. And also curiously absent at the keynote, was desktop publishing software giant Adobe, as Adobe’s InDesign will be affected by what Apple [...]

Goodbye, Steve.

Before embarking, he’d looked at his sister Patty, then for a long time at his children, then at his life’s partner, Laurene, and then over their shoulders past them. Steve’s final words were: OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW. – Steve’s Sister, Mona Simpson.

Traffic Whores

I knew if someone like Steve chooses to resign, some writers will climb out of whatever holes they have been hiding and do a piece about Steve’s failures. Well, if you are so great, why haven’t I see anything from you? Strange people strive in the strangest times.

Is Apple Quick Enough?

Gate-crashed a new media forum in Shanghai, Apple’s Quick Qiu spoke about creating a different model in building a user or audience base, “Apple need not be a singular outlet,” said he. I wonder if Apple is more interested in selling more boxes or amassing a greater mobile user base. P.S. Our dear friend proposed [...]

Apple on Apple.

I have always loved to see how Apple describes itself in their PR documents, this is their latest version: Apple designs Macs, the best personal computers in the world, along with OS X, iLife, iWork and professional software. Apple leads the digital music revolution with its iPods and iTunes online store. Apple has reinvented the [...]

Doing Something for Japan: Japanation 101.

Things were happening so fast it was almost impossible to respond to the changes caused by the Sendai Earthquakes and the Tsunami. My team put together this book for sale on iTunes Store, and hopefully our dear friends at Apple can approve the book as soon as possible, proceeds for sales of the book will [...]

The Perfect Mobile Combo.

Depending on what you do, the following equation should meet your mobile computing needs in almost any situation: iPhone4 with iOS4.3 upwards + 13in MacBook Pro upwards + iPad2wifi/3G 64GB + Lacie 2TB Thunderbolt Drive. And they are all from Apple, a closed, and comfortable computing ecosystem. If you are just a mobile user and [...]

Remember March 25th.

While it may take a month or so, maybe two months, if Apple can’t help it, for Machines in Malaysia to clear it’s stock — albeit at a loss — before the new iPad hits the shore of bad politicians and corrupted voting system. Let us not forget in a few weeks after the March [...]
